How to Make Dry Transfers

Dry transfers are a type of decal that can be applied without water or another solvent. To apply a dry transfer, you need to place it face down on the object you're applying it to, and evenly rub along the backing with a stylus or another stiff tool. To make your own dry transfer, you can use dry transfer paper in your printer to print out your image or text, then apply it like a store-bought dry transfer. You can find dry transfer paper in your local craft store.
